Thomas and the Trucks - S1-E6

Audio problem: In the 1992 "Thomas Gets Tricked" VHS release, the music stops and a man's voice says, "Look out for the train!" when Thomas climbs up Gordon's Hill. The voice can still be heard in the 1995 release, but the music does not stop.

Revealing mistake: When the cops run into the girl making out in the car, she looks away from the camera, then looks at it again.

AAL117

Trivia: The beginning credits except the title card are missing. Therefore, you can just see scenes of driving for the first ten minutes.

AAL117

Wrong Road - S2-E22

Revealing mistake: When Gordon says, "I am Gordon! Stop! Stop!", his eyes are wonky.

AAL117

Season 1 generally

Plot hole: James appears in every episode before his introduction in "Thomas and the Breakdown Train." Also, James is supposed to be black, because at the end of the episode, James is told he will get a different coat of paint. (He is also black in the book).

AAL117

Bill, Ben and Fergus - S7-E3

Deliberate mistake: Due to the production order, Arthur can be seen at the quarry, but his introduction is 6 episodes later, in "The Spotless Record."

AAL117

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Despite Henry's issue from "Coal" in Season 1 being resolved after the crash in "The Flying Kipper", also in Season 1, Henry needed special coal again from "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" until Season 16.

AAL117

Henry's Happy Coal - S15-E9

Factual error: Black smoke comes out of Henry's cylinders, when it should only be coming out of his funnel.

AAL117

Thomas and Bertie - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: When Thomas leaves Dryaw, in the background, the biplane's propeller stops spinning, revealing that the propeller is actually a CD.

AAL117

The Early Bird - S13-E6

Character mistake: The narrator says that Thomas had never delivered the mail before, but he did in Season 4.

AAL117

The Early Bird - S13-E6

Other mistake: Mavis and Cranky should've realised that Thomas woke them up the first time he blew his whistle.

AAL117

The Early Bird - S13-E6

Continuity mistake: Thomas says that Mavis and Cranky never make mistakes, but they have in "Mavis" and "No Sleep for Cranky."

AAL117

Cautious Connor - S20-E15

Other mistake: In the very first shot of Spencer, his coaches aren't textured.

AAL117

The Biggest Present of All - S13-E16

Audio problem: When Henry and James are at the quarry, their whistle sounds are played out of order.

AAL117

Useful Railway - S20-E27

Audio problem: After Rex is hoisted back on the rails, Mike has Rex's whistle sound.

AAL117

Big Belle - S15-E15

Continuity mistake: Gordon's Hill is much taller and steeper than it usually is. Also, when Belle reaches the other side of the hill, the tracks on the viewer's left disappear.

AAL117

Season 20 generally

Other mistake: The Rev. W. Awdry is not credited in the title card of the episodes "Mike's Whistle", "Tit for Tat", and "Useful Railway." Only Andrew Brenner's name appears.

AAL117

The Sad Story of Henry - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When the passengers try to pull Henry out of the tunnel, they have putty on their feet. Sir Topham Hatt's hand is also purple.

AAL117

Cautious Connor - S20-E15

Factual error: At the beginning of the episode, the narrator says that Connor and Caitlin are faster than Spencer, but Spencer, an LNER A4, holds the world speed record for steam locomotives.

AAL117

Thomas and the Sounds of Sodor - S16-E11

Deliberate mistake: When the engines are performing "The Sounds of Sodor", Emily, Thomas, Percy and Gordon have the correct whistle sounds but at a lower pitch. At one point, James has Emily/Henry's whistle sound, Mavis has her old "New Series" horn, and Thomas has James' whistle sound.
